DFA Remix Collection Due in April

Now that he's got two Grammy noms and "The O.C." soundtrack love, James Murphy is headed back to the dancefloor. The LCD-man and his Death From Above (DFA) counterpart Tim Goldsworthy have tweaked many a tune in their day, adding their trademark cowbell to tracks by everybody from N.E.R.D. to Chromeo, and cementing their status as four-on-the-floor masters. A significant portion of those DFA remixes will be gathered on the imaginatively-titled compilation The DFA Remixes - Chapter One, due April 4 via DFA/Astralwerks on CD and double vinyl.
Many of these mixes are extremely rare and/or out of print. So quit scouring Soulseek and get ready to hear this stuff pumped out of Bose systems at every boutique in town.

DFA Records also plans to release new material from LCD Soundsystem, the Juan Maclean, Black Dice, Delia Gonzalez and Gavin Russom, and Black Leotard Front within the coming year. Shake down!
